On the actual thread topic, I guess Wio is cool.=C2=A0 If it works as well = as I think it does, I shall have to improve my opinion of Wayland.

The developer o= f wio is the same that wrote sway (an i3-like Wayland compositor) and wlroo= ts, which is now used by many projects. Sway is definitely a really nice en= vironment to work in.


Stray thought:=C2=A0 Why didn't the suckless folk ever use Xnest instea= d of mucking about with things which require application support?=C2=A0 Not= that Xnest has worked 100% for years, but they could have tried to fix it.= =C2=A0 I mentioned it to them but they were already hyped up about tabbed.<= br>

I would= say that I prefer a tabbed+tiled environment and would love a Rio variant = that behaves like i3 or DWM with workspaces and tiling (dmenu does not make= sense on Plan9 due to namespaces - so execution from terminal windows like= in Rio would still be the same).=C2=A0

If I am making a "laundry list" of wishes I would= also love such an interface to be based on the solarized colour schemes (d= ark, light).
